The man is ever blest

Hymnal: BW1867 #376 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest Who shuns the sinners' ways; Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorners' place. 2 But makes the law of God His study and delight, Amidst the labors of the day, And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf, His name shall live; His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so th' ungodly race, They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How shall they bear to stand Before the judgment-seat Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves The way the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overflow.

In mercy, not in wrath

Hymnal: BW1867 #354 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 6 Lyrics: 1 In mercy, not in wrath, Rebuke me, gracious God! Lest, if Thy whole displeasure rise I sink beneath Thy rod. 2 Touched by Thy quickening power, My load of guilt I feel; The wounds Thy Spirit hath unclosed Oh let that Spirit heal. 3 In trouble and in gloom, Must I for ever mourn? And wilt Thou not at length, O God, In pitying love return? 4 Oh come, ere life expire, Send down Thy power to save; For who shall sing Thy Name in death, Or praise Thee in the grave? 5 Why should I doubt Thy grace, Or yield to dread despair? Thou wilt fulfill Thy promised word, And grant me all my prayer. Topics: Man a Saint Lukewarm and Backsliding Languages: English

The Lord looked down from heaven's high tower

Hymnal: BW1867 #258 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 the Lord looked down from heaven's high tower, And all the sons of men did view, To see if any owned His power, If any truth or justice knew; 2 But all, He saw, were gone aside, All were degenerate grown, and base; None took religion for their guide, Not one of all the sinful race. 3 How will they tremble, then, for fear, When His just wrath shall them o'ertake: For to the righteous God is near, And never will their cause forsake. 4 Oh that from Sion he'd employ His might, and burst th' oppressive band! Then shouts of universal joy Should loudly echo through the land. Topics: Man a Sinner Depraved Languages: English

The spacious firmament on high

Hymnal: BW1867 #43 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 19 Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. 2 The unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an Almighty hand. 3 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth: 4 While all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets, in their turn, Confirm the tidings, as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 5 What though in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball-- What though no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found-- 6 In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing, as they shine-- The Hand that made us is divine.

God's perfect law converts the soul

Hymnal: BW1867 #245 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 19 Lyrics: 1 God's perfect law converts the soul, Reclaims from false desires; With sacred wisdom His sure word The ignorant inspires. 2 The statutes of the Lord are just, And bring sincere delight; His pure commands, in search of truth, Assist the feeblest sight. 3 His perfect worship here is fixed, On sure foundations laid; His equal laws are in the scales Of truth and justice weighed; 4 Of more esteem than golden mines. Or gold refined with skill; More sweet than honey, or the drops That from the comb distill. 5 My trusty counsellors they are, And friendly warning give: Divine rewards attend on those Who by Thy precepts live. 6 But what frail man observes how oft He does from virtue fall? Oh cleanse me from my secret faults, Thou God, that know'st them all! 7 Let no presumptuous sin, O Lord, Dominion have o'er me; That, by Thy grace preserved I may The great transgression flee. 8 So shall my prayer and praises be With Thy acceptance blest; And I, secure on Thy defence, My strength and Saviour, rest.

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Hymnal: BW1867 #30 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 23 Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd’s care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noon-day walks He shall attend And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales, and dewy meads, My weary, wandering steps He leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious lonely wilds I stray, His bounty shall my pains beguile; The barren wilderness shall smile, With lively greens and herbage crowned, And streams shall murmur all around. 4 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord! art with me still: Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade.

Commit Thy way, confiding

Hymnal: BW1867 #327 (1867) Scripture: Psalm 37 Lyrics: 1 Commit Thy way, confiding, When trials here arise, To Him whose hand is guiding The tumults of the skies. There clouds and tempests, raging, Have all their path assigned; Will God, for thee engaging, No way of safety find? 2 Trust in the Lord! His favor Will for thy wants provide; Regard His word!--and ever Thy work shall safe abide. When sorrows here o'ertake thee, And self-inflicted care, Let not thy God forsake thee! He listens for thy prayer. 3 Hope on! thou weak believer, Hope on, and falter not! He will thy soul deliver From deeps of troubled thought: Thy graces He will nourish, With hope thy heart employ, Till faith and hope shall flourish And yield their fruits of joy. 4 The sorrows, Lord, that try us, Oh bring them to an end! With needed strength supply us, From ever foe defend! Let us, till death pursuing The best--Thy chosen--way, In heaven our life renewing, Praise Thee in endless day.

As pants the hart for cooling streams

Hymnal: BW1867 #353 (1867) Scripture: Psalm 42 Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams When heated in the chase; So longs my soul, O God, for Thee, And Thy refreshing grace. 2 For Thee, my God, the living God, My thirsty soul doth pine; Oh when shall I behold Thy face, Thou Majesty divine? 3 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Trust God; and He'll employ His aid for thee, and change these sighs To thankful hymns of joy. 4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Hope still; and thou shalt sing The praise of Him who is Thy God, Thy health's eternal spring. Topics: Man a Saint Thirsting After God Languages: English

God is the refuge of His saints

Hymnal: BW1867 #33 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 46 Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of His saints When storms of sharp distress invade; Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold Him present with His aid. 2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled Down to the deep, and buried there; Convulsions shake the solid world-- Our faith shall never yield to fear. 3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar; In sacred peace our souls abide; While every nation, every shore, Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide. 4 There is a stream, whose gentle flow Supplies the city of our God; Life, love, and joy, still guiding through, And watering our divine abode. 5 That sacred stream, Thy holy word, Our grief allays, our fear controls; Sweet peace Thy promises afford, And give new strength to fainting souls. 6 Zion enjoys her Monarch’s love, Secure against a threatening hour; Nor can her firm foundations move, Built on His truth, and armed with power.
